A multi-chip module is constructed by aligning prewired chips on a support wafer and depositing a nonconductive thermally conductive and electrically nonconductive material having a coefficient of thermal expansion that approximate that of the chips (e.g. silicon, silicon carbide, silicon germanium, germanium or SiCGe) to surround chips. After removal of the support wafer, processing of multi-chip module is finished with wiring on a shared surface of multi-chip module and chip surface.

Features of two or more distinct sizes designed to optimize performance of an integrated circuit device are formed by transferring a pattern from a resist patterned with features of a single minimum feature size for which a resist exposure tool is optimized to a layer of preferably soluble material such as germanium oxide. Portions of this pattern are then enlarged using a block-out mask and the resulting pattern transferred to a further underlying layer preferably using an anisotropic reactive ion etch. The soluble material can then be removed leaving a robust mask with differing feature sizes for further processing. Preferably, Damascene conductive lines and vias are formed by providing an insulator as the further underlying material and filling the openings with metal or other conductive material.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed that can introduce deliberate semiconductor film variation during semiconductor manufacturing to compensate for radial processing differences, to determine optimal device characteristics, or produce small production runs. The present invention radially varies the thickness and/or composition of a semiconductor film to compensate for a known radial variation in the semiconductor film that is caused by performing a subsequent semiconductor processing step on the semiconductor film. Additionally, methods and apparatuses are disclosed that can introduce deliberate semiconductor film variations to determine optimal device characteristics or produce small production runs. Introducing semiconductor film variations, such as thickness variations and/or composition variations, allow different devices to be made. A number of devices may be made having variations in semiconductor film. Because the semiconductor film has variations between the devices, device characteristics of the devices should be different. By measuring the device characteristics of devices having the variations, the device with the optimum device characteristic may be chosen, thereby indicating the appropriate semiconductor film thickness and/or composition. Moreover, small production runs of the same devices, having different characteristics, will allow the end user to select the appropriate devices for their needs.

A viable T-gate FET is produced even when the cap of the “T” is mis-aligned from the stem of the “T”. A subtractive etch is used to selectively etch the material forming the cap of the T-gate and the material forming the stem of the T-gate in order to avoid the etching away of portions of the stem if the cap is mis-aligned relative to the stem. To that end, germanium (Ge) may be used as the material for the cap of the T-gate and poly silicon (polySi) may be used as the material for the stem of the T-gate. Since germanium can be etched selectively relative to silicon from 10:1 to as much as 20:1, the cap of the T can be formed without appreciable damage to the stem portion and thus without damage to the resultant FET device.

A MOSFET device and a method of manufacturing the device. The device has a trench formed in a silicon substrate. The channel of the device is at the bottom of the trench. Diffusion layers are formed adjacent to opposite sides of the trench. Each diffusion layer is connected to the edge of the device channel by extending the diffusion layer along the side wall of the trench and under a portion of the trench.
